<DIV>Larry and others,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>As some others have stated, I'm also not sure I have time to follow another
genealogy mail group.&nbsp; The topic is certainly legitimate, and the group may
thrive.&nbsp; But, it seems to me that we already at least a couple of mail
lists where questions can be asked about citations.&nbsp; I'm not sure we need
separate mail lists for every major genealogical research topic.&nbsp; If, on
the other hand, you are planning to systematically go through all of
<EM>Evidence Explained</EM> page by page, then I would think you would want to
invite the author of the book to participate as little or much as she would
like.&nbsp; I am making no assumptions about what Elizabeth Shown Mills prefers;
I'm just saying that if you are going to build an entire online discussion
around her book, it makes sense for her to be involved.&nbsp; And I, like
others, wonder how you are drawing boundaries about who is or is not welcome to
participate.</DIV>
